OK SB869

Candidate names on Primary and Runoff Primary Election ballots must be rotated so each name appears in each position an equal number of times "to the extent practicable," with judicial, school, city and town office candidates placed by lot

Secretary of State Election Board may authorize regular ballots as absentee ballots in any county, eliminating the requirement that absentee ballots be specifically designated on their face

In-person absentee voting hours changed to Thursday and Friday (8 a.m. to 6 p.m.) and Saturday (9 a.m. to 2 p.m.) before elections; Monday voting eliminated; counties with 100,000+ registered voters may designate multiple in-person absentee polling locations

First responders or emergency workers deployed within 10 days of an election for declared natural disasters or states of emergency may request emergency absentee ballots

County election boards may begin processing and counting absentee ballots earlier than the Thursday before the election with written approval from the Secretary of State Election Board, though results cannot be announced before 7:00 p.m. on election day
